Learn how to unlock and effectively use Guy Kendo in Yakuza: Dead Souls. Discover his skills, weapon upgrades, and how he helps Akiyama in the zombie apocalypse.
Alright, let's talk about Guy Kendo, who you'll get access to as Akiyama. He's a pretty cool dude, and a soon-to-be father, who's ready to jump into the zombie-infested chaos to help out. To get him on your team, you'll need to complete the 'Big Daddy' substory chain for Akiyama. Once you've got him, you'll find he's got a knack for shotguns. His starting stats aren't too shabby either, with a base Accuracy of D and a really solid base Affinity of A. Plus, he can carry a medkit to patch himself (or you!) up when things get hairy.
Kendo comes with a bunch of useful skills that you can level up as you progress. Here's a rundown of what you can unlock:
